Hand is in the wrong position and your seat is too far back because your arms should never be fully extended. That's the racer in me talking but it really should be applied in every situation.


With that said, exhaust sounds good.

Great exhaust sound!

Regarding the comment on seating to far back. Yes, it looks cool, but in an emergency situation, it is always easier to control the wheel with less arm movement (bend elbow with better grip) . Also when the car starts to slide sideways to avoid something , the momentum or the G force will push you sideways and you will slide out of the seat the lower or farther you position back your seat.

Rule of thumb is your driving foot should touch the break pedal all the way down to the floor. That means the whole bottom foot surface should have a full contact to the break pedal all the way down to the floor. Rainy days or snowy days when shoes are slippery is dangerous when you only touch the pedal by the 1/2 front of your foot. If driving manual, your heel should be able to touch the gas pedal at least half depress...

Easy way to do a proper sitting position(distance) is both wrists should rest on top of the steering wheel without reaching too much.

Yeah! The lens can do a lot of wierd angles...😋
I love driving my Q40, it just that we always want to have more power or torque! Ha ha ha! I only drive mine to work and once in a while I have this BMW M6 (560 HP V8 twin turbo) that I see on my way to work and I am so helpless to see him blew by me... 😖 One time he would let us (other cars) speed up and he would catch up in a blink of an eye...😳

Nice sound. Two things.
One. Why the concern to mask the speed? If you were really on point, you would have done the same to the tach.
Two. You've got to get the Carsmo *****. Seriously, night and day. Worth every penny.
